Life : thoughts from an airplane windowside

People once said humans can never fly, but here we are riding among clouds. 

I've been thinking as I looked out from the airplane window. Amazed by how a man dreamt and chased his dream, hoping one day we can be soaring in the skies above, looking at cities as though they were ants.

Courage. It's a very very abstract feeling. And yet without it, you can't do almost everything.

And to chase our dreams, without courage, we can never realize it. 

The courage to do something different, so absurd people say you're going crazy.

A dream to think out of the universe and perhaps make history?

I don't know where I'm heading next, to be honest. In fact I'm at a crossroad with no road signs at all.

So perhaps a little courage would help me to get along? And I do hope you gather yours too. Cause we're just starting our adventure some people call life. x

Travelette : Day 6 in Brisbane

How to I even describe this day!

My morning kicked off with a pleasant surprise.

We dropped by a shopping centre in Westfields.

It was huge.

And now for my surprise!

I was feeling giddy to get my hands on my beloved's latest album-Midnight Memories and the lovely debut perfume-Our Moment!

Little did I know my parents and brother had already got them for me when I was browsing for chocolates and stuff in Target.

They made me close my eyes and make a wish. Who knew?

I am truly hyped and grateful to them!

Next, we got off at Seaworld! It was wonderful!

We got a chance to watch the Spongebob Parade too!

Here are some snapshots!

We dropped by the Penguin Island to see the cute waddling penguins!

There's also a Dinosaur Island!

And....say hi Mr. Walrus!

The stunt jet ski show was awesome!

We got a lovely view from the cable car.

Another something new I saw was the polar bears!

They're huge. And super tall.

But they're adorable though!

The sharks and stingrays were a bomb too.

They were really close to the glass panels. Letting me catch a proper view of God's magnificent creations!

Next was the Dolphin Show at Imagine Cove. My favorite! Dolphins are just so kind and good natured.

* us having some fun at the Battle Boats. 

The game works like this. You fire your water cannons at people on the land and vice versa!

Got totally soaked after that!

The dinner for the night was splendid. Home cooked by Aunty Lynn, we had salmon with balsamic vinegar, curly fries, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes and duck sausages.

So sorry for the lack of photo! Was too excited to whip up the delicious meal! x

We are really blessed to have such wonderful host and hostess who practically prepared everything for us.

As my mum said, all we have to do was to play, eat and sleep! 

It's a wonderful holiday and I am really grateful for that!

Heading off to bed! Hope you're having a great time where ever you are!

Hoping to pop by Harbourtown again for some last minute shopping!

Travelette : Day 5

Today was a full day in Movie World!

And boy was I excited!

It was definitely a great experience and I met my love, Batman!

And Marilyn!

Just some photos to show you how the insides of Movie World looks like!

The Wild West Falls

Main Street Area

And I managed to visit the Justice League HQ!

One of the highlights of the day is the stunt show - FMX Overdrive!

The stunts were amazing!

I also did a little something I feel proud about! I slightly conquered my fear by taking a ride in the Wild West Falls!

Yay.

Anyways. The parade is also amazing.

There were several Looney Tunes characters parading down the Main Street. As well as a couple of the Justice League characters.

Flash, Wonderwoman, Supergirl and Green Lantern !

Scooby Doo

And his team...

* i love the little flowers you can always find around Brisbane (:

We also took a drive up Mt. Tambourine !

* I dozed off for a while but the scene is breathtaking! 

The meadows. The horses. Acres of vineyards and winery. Just like in the movies!

And the scenery from atop Mt. Tambourine.

Plus! A photo of our pizza feast at night!

Def different from Malaysias Pizza Hut and KFC!

Somehow less oily and more filling. Justsaying.

Anyways! Heading off to bed and preparing for a whole day in Seaworld tomorrow!

Travelette : Day 4 in Brisbane

Time flies! It's already our fourth day in Brisbane. But this day is lacking nothing.

It was packed with tons of fun too as we also went on a little adventure with us exploring Brisbane through its train system!

I got up pretty early today. About 6.30am? 

(Mind you, it's 4.30am - Malaysian time, as far as my brain is concerned!)

But it was worth it nonetheless!

We decided to take a train to visit the famous Steve Irwin Australian Zoo! Yays.

The train ride took about 1 hour or so from central Brisbane.

The train officer. Ahems.

Us at the train station!

Along the way, we got to see the various types of houses in the different districts in Brisbane!

I like the fact that the walls surrounding the train along the way is always a variety of paintings, or simple structures which I think is really creative! 

One example...

I think it's rather artsy. There are other sorts of paintings but I only managed to capture this so yeahhh.

Finally! The zoo!

Nearest to the entry, there are several crocodiles laying (mostly sleeping) in the water.

This is Albert! 

And meet Robert and his girlfriend - Fang 2

*notice how Roberts hand is hugging his girl!

Next, Australia, you can't really say you're here if you haven't seen two animals : 

koala bear and kangaroos!

And I'm glad I had my fair share of both!

Caught this guy sleeping while hugging the tree tightly!

And this other cute guy.

Kangaroos!

*ever wondered how a Joey jumped into its mothers pouch? Read this!

And I also managed to get a photo with a sheep!

There were also some pretty mosaic art on the walls.

Next are some snapshots of the Wildlife Warriors show!

This bad boy over here can bite off a hand in just seconds!

And some photos I took in Africa section.

We also managed to watch the Tiger show.

I learned so much!

Did you know that tigers claw trees to mark their territory? Pretty much the same reason why cats claw furnitures too! Their claws have glands which can leave scents as their mark.

Also! Did you know tigers can climb trees?!

Gone are the myths where shows 'taught' you to climb up a tree to hide from a tiger attack!

Later in the afternoon we took a train back to CBD again.

Managed to grab a boxed ice coffee which is pretty decent!

*Gabriel said hi!

Our night is again ended with a spectacular dinner. Siew bak (roasted pork) all the way in Brisbane by the one and only a Uncle Steven!

It is just too good to be earthly!

The skin is crispy and the meat is so juicy!

And a picture of our lovely dinner.

Today was splendid and is also looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary! x
